' Deposits in Omaha banks are over
$31,000,000 greater today than they

This increase in the bank deposits
is made known through the call of
the United States comptroller for No
vember 17. .
' The total deposits in Omaha banks
on November 17 were $96,701,497. On
November 10, wher- the comptroller
issued his call in 191 5, the total de
posits were $65,672,767.
Bank deposits today are, in addi
tion, over $2,000,000 greater than they
were on September 12 this year, when
the comptroller issued the last previ
ous call.
The deposits in most of the Omaha
banka run a few thousand dollars
higher. One or two show a slight de
crease; but it is the South Side banks
which shows the greatest gains The
Stock Yards and Live Stock banks
both show gains of $1,000,000 over
the last calL Marketing of feeder
cattle is believed to be the reason for
the increase. '
- Loans are also larger than they
were a year ago and at the time of
the last call, indicating an increased
business activity in Omaha and the
tributary ' territory.

Directors of St. Joseph hospital

Commends the Work
Done.
IT ALL GOES TO THE NEEDY
Here is a list of the milkmen and
ice companiea to whom The Bee's
fund for free milk and ice was paid
out last summer. Vou remember The
Bee raised this fund among the good
people of Omaha and other places
and used it to suddIv fresh, pure milk
and ice to keep it cool in the hot
weather, tor the babies and small chil
dren of the poor.
tvery penny of the fund went tor
milk or ice. Not a cent was scent for
administering the fund, this being
done chiefly by the Visiting Nurses
of Omaha. This fact also guaran
tees that the money was all spent on
really deserving and actually needy
families.1 Bessie B. Randall, superin
tendent of the Visiting Nurses' asso
ciation, has written a letter of thanks
tor the fund, as follows:

Mrs. Borglnm's Hands
Modeled by Solon
The expressive hands of Madame
August M. Borglum, an Omaha wom
an and his sister-in-law, were mod
eled by Solon Borglum, the celebrated
artist, in his sculpture 'The Gentle
Closing of Two Lives," known as the
Schieren memorial, which stands in
the lobby of the Hotel Fontenelle dur
ing the Fine Arts exhibit there.
Madame Borglum was visiting at
the home .of her sister, who is Mrs.
Solon Borglum, in Norwich, Conn.,
last summer when the artist was at
work on this subject.
"I watched the evolution1 of the
sculpture for about a month. The
model used for the central figure had
not beautiful hands and Solon asked
to use my hands for that part of the
work," said i Madame Borglum, a
chance remark to a friend while view
ing the statue disclosing this infor
mation. "On the Trail" and "New-Born,"
two bronzes by Solon Borglum, have
been purchased by C. N. Dietz.
Two New Paintings
At the Art Exhibit
Two additional Charles H. Davis
paintings, one called "Wind-Swept
Hills" and the other a mid-summer
landscape, arrived Monday and were
hung at the fine Arts exnioit at tne
Hotel Fontenelle.
It has just become known that
"Paul" and "Monica," the two lovely
children's heads done by Solon Borg
lum, are those of hit own little son
and daughter. The two pieces have
aroused much admiration.

GIRL LEAVES HOME
AND MEETS TROUBLE
Opal Jacobs .Tells Mother She
is Going to a Dance
Comes Here.
MAN CALLS EES A THUF
Two weeks ago Opal Jacobs, aged
16 years, told her mother, Mrs. H. L.
Jacobs, 1098 Birch avenue, Des
Moines, that she was going to a;
dance. She disappeared that night
and every effort by the Des Moines
authorities to trace her were in vain.
Police Officers Burchard and Goss
of the Omaha department arrested
Opal Gillan and Rose Johnson Mon
day, night in a resort near Ninth and
Davenport streets on complaint of
Albert Lehnse and Fred Vallery of
Plattamouth. Albert insisted that
Opal had robbed him of $13 and the
money was found on her person.
Fred lost a watch, which he said
Rose got.
Answers Description.
Just a week ago Emergency Officer
Paddy Rinn received a letter from
Mrs. Jacobs of Des Moines, begging
that every effort be 'made to see if
her girl were in Omaha.
When Opal Gillan was brought in,
two and two were put together by
the police, and she confessed that
she waa the missing Jacobs girl.
"We just wanted to see life and
have some fun," she volunteered
Tuesday mornin". Rose, who hails
from Des Moines and is older than
Opal, has nothing to say. The po
lice are confident that the girls were
brought here by men, but this is
denied by the prisoners. Neverthe
less a search along this line is being
conducted.
When Opal learned that her mother
had been almost distracted by her
disappearance, (he broke down. "I'll
never leave her again," she wept
"I didn't realize what 1 was doing."
Juvenile officers are hs'.idling the
case and expect to retard the adven
turous young miss at once to Des
Moines. Rose says she will go back
also.

NEEDS FARM AND
NEW WORKHOUSE
Comity Would Move Them Far
ther Out, Where Land Could
Be Had to Baise Crops.
LET INMATES DO THE WOBX
The county commissioners are
heartily in favor of legislation to re
lieve crowded conditions and inade
quate facilities atvthe county hospital
and also for the purchasing of a large
tract of land and the construction of a
poor farm and workhouse.
The sentiment of the county fathers
was expressed when Dr. W. O.
Bridges, M. A. Hall and A. C. Arend,
representing the city health and hos
pitals committee of the Commercial
club, appeared before the commission
ers to ascertain what their attitude
was in regard to any measures to be
taken for such legislation.
Frank C. Best, one of the commis
sioners, believes that the county hos
pital should be a separate institution
at which medical cases only would be
cared for. It is his idea that the
por far manrl workhouse could be
located on a large tract of land in
another part of the county, in separ
ate buildings.
The place could be farmed, accord
ing to Mr. Best, and the inmates of
the workhouse made to do the work.
Farm products for the use of county
charges could be raised and in this
way the institutions would be partial
ly self-supporting.

A Never Failing Way
To Banish Ugly Hairs
(Aids to Beauty)
No woman is immune to superfluous
growths, and because these are likely
to appear at any time, it is advisable
to always have some delatone powder
handy to use when the occasion arises.
A paste is made with some of the pow
der and water and spread upon the
hairy surface; in about 2 minutea this
is carefully removed and the skin
washed. You will then find that your
skin is entirety free from hair or fuzz.
Be sure, however, to get real delatone.
